She enlists the help of her friend Kim-Chui, who owns a Duck Rice restaurant.

She and Kim-Chui hatch a plan that involves bringing Sabine, a female French exchange student, to stay at Jen's house.

When "Batman" suddenly announces that he is leaving Singapore, Jen finally realises the truth from Leo's grief-stricken face and strikes him in fury.

Some time later Jen, persuaded by Sabine, attends Harry's birthday party.

Another obstacle she must overcome is news of Daniel's impending gay marriage -- she is horrified and cannot accept it.

Both Kim-Chui and Sabine eventually help Jen to accept them for what they are, and the film, although comic, strikes a poignant note as well.

Sabine the vegetarian never consumes the one thing Jen does best, the chicken rice of the title.
